what united states should be saying at that moment. after the killings, the state department and the president came out with very strong statements. i thought the best statement of all was hillary clinton, reminding us what the stakes are when she said we have to be clear eyed in the face of grief. and that is correct. we cannot make foreign policy snap judgments. you have to get the facts, find out who was responsible here, before we even decide what the appropriate action will be. and i have confidence that when we do, the president working with the libyan government and the egyptian government will take the right action. >> and to john's point about the sort of risk these diplomats take on, you know, that statement that was released in egypt was as much as anything else an attempt to save lives. >> sure. >> say look, we were a he going to try to put this broken thing back together so that nobody is hurt. and for romney not only to sort of not understand that, but then to use that as a line of attack and criticism, is fairly shocking

the president is not abdicating his responsibilities as president of the united states. but it seems pretty nakedly political. >> well, this isn't the first time we've announced a trade enforce hadment action to ensure china plays by the rules for american workers and businesses. it's the ninth time. this president has brought twice as many cases to the wto to ensure china plays by the rules as the previous administration. no doubt there is a contrast in this campaign when the president has done this in the past, governor romney criticized it as bad for the nation and our workers. so this is part of the choice that's on the ballot in november. but this came out of an investigation by the new trade enforcement that the president announced several months ago which has increased the capacity of the u.s. government to bring these cases and make sure that there's a level playing field for american workers and businesses. >> ben, i got to ask you, we have seen a lot of rhetoric from the romney campaign in recent weeks regarding china and, you know, the criticism in some circle
